Entering play today, the Cleveland Guardians were 43-13 when scoring four or more runs in a game this season. If you are a fan who called it quits after Cleveland fell behind 8-0 in the third inning and stayed there until the eighth (and who could blame you), you may be wondering why that stat matters.
Well, that’s because they attempted to mount a comeback in the eighth inning and they came damn close to pulling it off in the ninth. Ultimately they still lost, 8-6, and fell below .500 for the first time since May 1. But hey it was fun for a little bit, at least.
